Rumors

Isaiah Hartenstein: One guy who pisses me off, like I got love for him but I can't guard him, that I have really trouble guarding is Robin Lopez. Robin Lopez, I can’t, that hook shot, and he only has a right-hand hook and I'm sitting like all right, you’re not getting this hook, and he’s coming in at the end of the game, so this is like the last two minutes… he’s making them every time. I just guard Jared Allen, Evan Mobley, don’t have a problem with that, the whole game… and then Robin Lopez comes in… I'm just like coach, if Robin Lopez is in the game, it's not going to be good (laughs).

Talking about Goran, he explained what Dragić meant to him throughout his career. “We were rookies together, and he was somebody I could look to because he had been a professional before in Europe. Gogi was somebody I could always look up to and model myself after.” Would the twin brother of Brook Lopez consider playing in Europe? “I’d absolutely consider it; I know how passionate the fans are and how high the level of basketball is.”

Luka Doncic’s team started with a stacked five composed of the Dallas Mavericks‘ phenomenon, Bogdan Bogdanovic, Nikola Jokic, Luis Scola, and Robin Lopez; after being received as a national hero, Goran Dragic answered with Steve Nash, Klemen Prepelic, Vlatko Cancar, and Nikola Vucevic.

Disney employees were in for a surprise this week when the Lopez brothers showed up for Disney's Cast Basketball League games at Mickey’s Retreat — a recreation area for Disney cast members and their family and friends. Brook and Robin, whose second stint with the Bucks ended in February when he was traded to the Sacramento Kings (he was immediately waived and did not play for them), greeted the employees, shot some hoops with them and signed autographs before taking a group photo.

Brook also used the appearance to promote the upcoming NBA playoffs. Disney owns ESPN and ABC, stations that are broadcasting partners of the NBA. ABC is also home of the NBA Finals.

In the current NBA, there seems to be a bit more intent about getting the right kind of veteran to fill the role, especially in cities where they already have currency. It’s no accident Tristan Thompson returned to Cleveland, Derrick Rose went to Memphis, Robin Lopez landed back in Milwaukee or beloved behemoth Boban Marjanović is once again in Houston.
